Why not bore for natural gas IN
Morris? There is supposed to be an
insxhaustible supply of gas under
Minnesota's surface somewhere, and
if If we could strike it here, Morris
would have thriving manufactures
and 90, 900 inhabitants within year

DuriLg the week commencing Mon
day, May 9th 1887, a state teachers
institute will be conducted in Morris.
These Institutes are invaluable to
teachers and each and every one in
the county should plan to attend this
one soon to be- held. Notice the an
nouncement given in another column.
Overton Fife and Drum Corps will
give a dance and supper in the Morris
roller rink on Thursday evening May
9Th, 1887. The boys want to improve
their uniforms and will use the pro-
ceeds for this purpose. Bear the date
in mind and be sure to attend. Have
q good time and at the same time
help the boys along.
An exchange suggests the follow
ing mathematical problem which is
little too hefty for us: Two engines
travelling at high speed over rail-
road are followed, q few minutes
later, by an engine going at a rate OF
speed ten miles slower than those
ahead. How long will 1t take the
engine in the rear to catch up?
Set out few more trees this spring
and then take better care of them
than you did of those that died last
year. Trees should be well mulched
as soon rs set out and not allowed to
suffer from the drought before the
roots get well started. Take better
care of the newly set trees, and you
Will not have to replace so many of
them.
The American Arbor Vitae seems
to be particularly adapted to our dry
Western prairiss. If well rooted it
will endure prolonged drouth. When
first planted they should if possible
be shaded from the sun during the
middle of the day. Place good
mulch around the roots Of the young
plants. From Z to IL inches high is a
good size to plant.
-Nessrs. O'Regan, Foley and P. and
w, Sullivan have rented" seventeen
acres of the Spooner farm and will
have market garden this year. The
TRIBUNE wishes to predict that these
gentlemen will make more money
f.om these few acres cared for in this
way than many in the county will
make from a whole farm. This ought
to be hint for those having the
"whole farm"
Three men came from Michigan
lately to Glenwood. They professee
! to be wealthy, retired merchants
They bargained for three fine farms
with stock and farm implements a
high prices. A day was set for draft
ing papers and paying money, bu
when the day came the men hat
skipped, proving themselves to b.
tramps who had gained good living
for a week or two.
It has been suggested that th
sportsmen of this town get up a go
pher hunt, the participants to choos'
sides, and the unsuccessful side t
pay for the supper. This would be
| good idea and not only furnish spor
but be blessing to the country an
be the means of Kidding the vicinit
of many of these pests-that is, if th
"shootistsn are successful in hittin
anything. Let the scheme materis
lize.
